In a transparent table's technical settings, if buffering is on and single record buffering is selected, which statement accesses the buffered data?

When buffering is enabled for a transparent table and single record buffering is selected, accessing data using the statement "SELECT SINGLE ..." is the most efficient choice. This statement is designed to retrieve a single record from the database and, due to its simplicity, takes full advantage of the buffer if the specific record being requested is already stored in the application server's memory.

When single record buffering is active, it allows for quicker data retrieval since the data can be accessed directly from the buffer instead of executing a database query. This is particularly advantageous when accessing individual records frequently, as it reduces the overhead associated with database calls.

While other statements might also interact with the database, they are typically not intended specifically for accessing single records in the context of this buffering method. For example, "SELECT SINGLE ... FOR UPDATE" is used to lock the selected row for modification, making it less effective for simply accessing buffered data. Similarly, "SELECT ... ENDSELECT" and "SELECT ... INTO TABLE" are intended for retrieving multiple records or result sets, which doesn't align with the efficient access of a single buffered record. Thus, the use of "SELECT SINGLE ..." leverages the benefits of buffering effectively.
